Theo looked rather unenthusiastic as he shuffled his way towards the Cheyenne Falls. In his arms, clutched protectively to his chest, was Dumpling the Mareep, and walking at his heels and looking wary was Imogene the Growlithe. He was supposed to meet up with Jack here, right? And then he would have to give back Dumpling... Dammit. He didn't want to. He liked the little Mareep a lot! And the electric-type liked him too, right?
His expression was sullen once he reached the edge of the sparkling lake, sitting down quietly to stare at the water.
"Ooooh, I wouldn't do that, psycho~" "You know what we always tell you about water..." "It wants to kill you..."
A shiver ran down Theo's spine, and he scuttled back a little bit from the lake. The ripples being sent through the water by the Falls seemed ominous; Theo thought he saw one ripple form a rather evil-looking face. Imogene nuzzled her trainer's leg reassuringly, not sure why he was so tense but wanting to make him feel better, and Dumpling bleated worriedly.

Jack never planned to show up. He knew Theo was turely nuts and never wanted to set eyes on him ever again. So he lost his Mareep, oh well. It was better than meet with a nutty-nutterson again.
There was someone else here today though. A blond girl with the end of her hair dyed black. She sat by the water's edge, watching as a Squritle and Golduck swam arond in the icy water. Even if it was the middle of summer you'd never see this teen swimming. She never learned how to do such a thing. Playing by the edge of the water, was a happy Aipom, tossing works to the Squritle who used his water gun to make them skip across the clear blue liqud.
Inbetween the two humans was a rock where two pokemon sat. A lovely Kirlia with a bit of a glare to his eye and a Mespirt. The two pokemon where the firsts to see Theo and now both set eyes upon him. Soon after thier trainer seemed to know there was someone else with them as well. None of the other playing pokemon took any notice to him though.
<He's different.> The Kirlia said at once, standing up to stretch. <Oh yes. Shall we set up a meeting?> The legendary pokemon queastioned softly. <For once, I think we should. Something tells me that he might help Ava out of her depression.> Oni said, nodding his head to Emrit. The Kirlia walked gracefully over to where Theo was and gave a friendly bow. "Kirlia?" He asked, his head tilted to the side. Emrit had better ideas and zommed around Theo's head playfully.

Theo hadn't been paying much attention to the Pokemon playing in and by the water (he figured they were wild, but he wasn't here to catch anything or battle; he was just waiting for Jack to arrive), and hadn't yet noticed Ava, too busy eying the "evil, malicious" water warily. Imogene, however, was much more observant, and she started to bark and growl, her mouth already glowing with an Ember attack, as Oni and Emrit approached.
Alarmed by the legendary Pokemon that was suddenly orbiting around his head, Theo let out a squeaky noise of surprise, his eyes widening. He shot the Kirlia a quick glance, and probably would have been a bit more friendly if Emrit hadn't shocked him out of his wits. "G-GAH! Where'd you c-come from?!" Imogene snapped her sharp teeth at Emrit, missing and barking a curse word under her breath as a result, and Dumpling, surprised, let out a "maaa" of greeting to the two Pokemon.
Theo just looked as if he might have a heart-attack. It was rather comical, really.

Emrit found Theo's reaction very funny, giggling much like some images of a Mew might have as he floated away and back over to Oni. <You need to stop hanging out with Hari and Bozu. They'er playfulness is starting to rub off on you.> The Kirlia muttered with a glare to the pink headed pokemon. <Where'd I come from?> Emrit asked, ignoring Oni's comment. <Well, when a female pokemon and a male pokemon love each other very much...> A sudden smack on the head brought big teardrops hanging from the Mesprit's eyes anime style as a lump grew on his head from the sudden smack.
Ava looked over at feeling a sudden rush of shock come over her and jogged over to Theo and the pokemon. "I'm sorry, are they herassing you?" She asked, her voice toneless in a creepy kind of way.

Taking in a few deep breaths, looking as if he was trying to force himself not to hyperventilate, Theo pressed a hand to his face, hiding his eyes for a moment. 'Okay... c-calm down... calm down...' He focused on the little Mareep nuzzling his neck and bleating worriedly and on the comforting, protective presence of Imogene, and slowly but surely he calmed, letting his hand drop back to his side.
Unfortunately, he'd yet to notice the sudden silence of the voices, and all at once they let out a terrible shrieking noise, Art's cackling deafening and Benny's wailing even worse. Then, they all started to laugh patronizingly, pleased that they'd managed to successfully scare poor Theo half to death almost as good as Emrit had. The blond boy was back to twitching and shaking and breathing fast and heavy, his eyes wide as dinner plates. Damn voices...
At the sound of a human voice, the schizophrenic's head snapped up, his wide and glassy blue eyes staring nervously at Ava. He made an odd twitching noise that could have been anything from a shrug to a nod to the shake of his head in response to her question; this girl's presence only made him feel even more jittery. She was creepy...
Clearly, Imogene agreed wholeheartedly. The Growlithe lunged, teeth snapping and claw-like toes lashing out at Ava. +STAY AWAY FROM MASTER!+

From the water of the Falls, a watergun aimed right towords Imogene. Bozu was the one who had sent the attack, swimming over. <Don't bite at my trainer!> He warned, coming onto the shore and stood ready to fight.
Ava reacted differntly than most trainers who had a little Growlithe bittin at them. "I wouldn't want to get near him!" She snapped right back at the canine. Her tone changed suddenly to that of mad and protective; over what is another queastion.
Oni slapped his forehead, two times. <Bakas, bakas.> He said, dancing over to Theo. Ava's Aipom hopped over and landed on his trainer's shoulder, blinking. <Oniiii!> He called over. <What you doin'!> The pokemon didn't bother to answer him and offered the teen infront of him a smile and a bow. <Don't mind my trainer, she's different.>
Emrit flew up behind Theo and sat it's self on his head.

Imogene let out a yelp as the water attack nailed her in the side, sending her skidding a few inches to the side, her fur steaming. She looked incredibly pained, her eyes popping, though she continued to growl angrily at everyone and everything except for her trainer. +BACK!+ she snarled.
Poor Dumpling and Theo were just looking around frantically, the Mareep letting out a worried, nervous "maa" and the human twitching violently. Confused and paranoid Theo glanced down at the Kirlia with wide, wary eyes, though the psychic-type didn't seem terribly frightening. He shrieked as Emrit landed on his head, surprised yet again (much to the amused delight of the voices, who were hooting and cackling at his expense), shaking like a leaf. "S-STOP THAT!" he demanded loudly, though the indignation behind the words was weak, muffled by fear and general shakiness.

Ava mocked the canine still, growling back at her, "Why don't you back off!" The blonde yelled back at the pokemon. Bozu moved infront of his trainer and spit water on the ground infront of Imogene as a warning.
Emrit moved away from the boy, huffing slightly and flew back over to it's trainer. Maybe Theo needed a good few hours without emotions to cool off. ...Or maybe even a few days or weeks without emotions. That would be fun.
One last pokemon joined the party so to say from Ava's pokeball belt. Nanab, the caring and motherly type Tropius. She stomped her foot on the ground in hopes of knocking both Imogene and Bozu over onto the ground to cool them off. <Both of you stop. You, fire one, our trainer is not going to hurt yours, if anything she might befriend him. And Bozu, stop messing with lower leveled pokemon. Yuu, you stay out of this.> She added to the Golduck who was still swimming around in the water, minding her own buseness.

Imogene snarled viciously at Bozu, looking as if she had no intention of "backing off" until Nanab stepped in. Though the Growlithe was quite tempted to shoot an Ember attack at the grass-and-flying-type, just to see if a Tropius burned like regular plants did, she restrained herself and let out a tiny growl, stalking back to Theo's side and glaring at Emrit as it abandoned her trainer. +That's right. Leave 'im alone.+ she grumbled irritably, rubbing against the schizophrenic's leg once she was close enough. Theo twitched in recognition.
Dumpling, not liking all the conflict, was remaining mostly silent save for quiet and worried bleats, but upon finally noticing Bozu, his eyes seemed to brighten a bit. A Squirtle! Since Boya the Squirtle had been one of the Pokemon to rescue him from the mean Raticate that had attacked him, the Mareep was rather fond of the water-type turtle Pokemon. +Hi,+ greeted the electric-type shyly, attempting to get Bozu's attention and maybe get rid of all the tension in the air.
Theo, meanwhile, was simply looking rather stressed and twitchy, eying Emrit with a great deal of distrust. '...Why the hell is a legendary Pokemon floating around here...?'

Bozu lost all of his seroiseness when the Mareep spoke and waved to Hari to come over. The Aipom hopped next to the water type and both waved to Dumpling. "Hiya!" The two said togather.
Ava felt the sudden wave of Theo's distrust wash over her but she grabbed Emrit into her arms and fell into feelinglessness at once. The blond cleared her throat and walked over to Theo once more. "Hehe..Sorry 'bout that. Um, where Oni and Emrit herassing you?" She asked again. <Yes, yes we were herassing him, Ava.> Emrit said. <Don't drag me into that! I wasn't doing nothin'.> Oni hissed, suddenly licked by Nanab to cool him off. It only made the Kirlia more mad.

The Mareep smiled sweetly, letting out a cheerful "maa!" in greeting. He waved a stubby leg. his glowing tail wagging slowly.
Theo eyed Ava nervously for a few seconds, not quite sure whether she was trustworthy (if these Pokemon were hers, then he couldn't be positive), but decided that it would be easy to just answer. The question was innocent enough, as it was... "Th-they... um... s-sorta. Yeah. M-maybe not so much the Kirlia."
Imogene grumbled something under her breath about both psychic-types being equally guilty of bothering her precious trainer, but the blond boy didn't understand, of course, and simply reached down to scratch behind the Growlithe's ears.

Ava offered Theo an apologetic look. "I'm sorry. Emrit is very curious about other trainers." She said, looking down to the Mesprit. "He's harmless, really. As for Oni, my Kirlia, I'm sure he just wanted to say hello." The blond nodded to herself before glancing at Imogene. "You've got a very loyal Growlithe. She has a lot of dislike at others who might hurt you, that's a great thing to have in a pokemon...But she might need to cool off sometimes, else she'll scare away everyone."
<Oh, hiya!> Hari bounced over to Dumpling, standing on his tail. He could care less if Theo freaked out because of him. <I'm Hari, and he's Bozu.> The Aipom said, pointing over to the water pokemon who made his way over as well. <And that's our trainer, Ava.> Bozu said, pointing to Ava. (*cough*Jack'spokemonhadbeentryingtohelpJackfindhissister.*cough*)

((Okie-dokie! O:!!))
Theo tried very hard not to freak out at the Aipom that had hopped cheerfully over to him and was now greeting Dumpling; he only jumped a little bit, and forced himself to remain facing Ava.
"Y-yeah, it's... n-no problem..." "Is so a problem! Stupid 'Emrit' needs to keep away from ya! Beat it up, beat it up!" 'I couldn't even if I wanted to... now shut up.' "I-Imogene is... really great," he agreed, and the Growlithe puffed out her chest with pride, even more so when Ava suggested she scared people away.
Though Dumpling bleated out another happy little "+hiya!+" at Bozu and Hari, he had the sinking feeling that he was forgetting something, something important... He glanced over at Ava, and then it struck him. Ava was... Jack's sister! This was his trainer's sister, the one he'd been looking for! +Oh! O-oh!+ He let out a few "maa"s at the girl, wiggling his legs to show Theo that he wanted to be put down. The blond boy, after finally realizing that was what the Mareep wanted, placed the sheep Pokémon on the ground gently, looking confused.
Dumpling made a beeline for the girl. +You're Jack's sister! H-he's been lookin' for you, you know!+

(Ava's not half vampire.)
Emrit could feel a ping of wanting to beat him up from Theo and glared at him. Oh how he wanted to make the boy lose emotions, maybe just with a slap of the tail to do so.
Ava looked down to Dumpling and blinked, patting his head. She had no clue what he was saying. "Oh, by the way, my name's Ava." She said to Theo softly.
<Her brother?> Oni asked, glancing at the Mareep. <Ava said her brother was at home with her mother.> The Kirlia said.

((Oh. :0 *fixes*))
"Th-Theo," he responded, watching the Mareep more than he was Ava. Dumpling "maaaa"ed urgently at the human girl, frustrated that she hadn't understood him, but paused to glance over at Oni.
+N-no, no! Jack's not! He's traveling, looking for Ava!+
((This is so painfully short, oh my lawd... I'm braindead. Seriously. x_________x I'm sorry.))

She gave a half hearted smile. "Theo? That's a pretty name." Ava commented, kneeling down next to the older teen. Looking down at Dumpling then Imogene, she asked, "So are these your only pokemon? Or do you have others?" The blond queastioned.
Oni shook his head. <No. Your wrong.> He said, dancing over to grab Bozu and Hari, making sure they didn't bother Theo or freak him out. <Go play with Yuu in the water.> The Kirlia said, wishing that maybe the Aipom would drown in the water.

Dumpling looked crestfallen at Oni's blatant dismissal of what he knew was the truth. With a dejected "maaaa...", the Mareep trotted his way back to Theo's side, rubbing against his leg gently. +Th-they don't believe me...+ Imogene rolled her eyes, growling at him that he should just "+be a man and deal with it+"; the sheep Pokemon's expression fell even more, and he went quiet.
Theo gave a sort of twitchy shrug in response to the compliment on his name, but his face flushed in embarrassment; clearly, he wasn't used to things like that. "I-it's short for Theodore... N-not that pretty. Just d-dorky." He turned his head to look down at Imogene and Dumpling, and he patted the both of them gently. "I got more. N-none are really all that great, though, 'cept for these two..." He rather disliked his wimpy little Oddish (who was afraid of him), his angry and vicious male Nidoran (too obnoxious), and his stubborn and useless Stantler. He didn't mind his Igglybuff as much, but she was still too prissy for his tastes.
Imogene was protective and sweet towards him alone, and Dumpling was just generally affectionate; the two of them were good enough for him.
"Th-the Mareep isn't mine, though. S-some guy named Jack let me borrow 'im... Was s-supposed to be giving 'im back here, but I d-don't see the guy. Oh, well. His loss." He picked up the Mareep and hugged him to his chest, and the little electric-type brightened a bit, "maa"-ing sweetly.

Ava shook her head in disaggrement. "Oh no. Theodore means "gift of god" in Greek, and it has a very smart ring to it. Like you should have a pair of glasses on." A frown moved across her lips thought it didn't look very emotional. "How can you say that? You need to grow to like your pokemon." The blond said before calling Bozu over. Ava picked up the Squritle and was going to show him to Theo, explaining about his playfulness and how it wasn't something she looked for in a pokemon when he brought up the name 'Jack'. Her mind stopped for a moment, seeing her brother's face before shaking off that idea. Jack was at home with her mother, helping her care for the baby.
"Are you looking for one pokemon? I have a few in my PC that might be something you'd like." She offered suddenly. "Would you like one?"
Yuu looked over and rolled her eyes. <Great, blondy is giving away pokemon like a charity...> Muttered the Golduck. The only reason she disliked this was because that's how she came to be in Ava's hand. Her last trainer must have dubbed her too weak to be his pokemon and given her away to the first person he saw. <I think it's wonderful that she wishes to help others.> Emrit said from Ava's head now. He was curled up like a dog or cat.

"You need to grow to like your Pokémon," Ava said. Well, why would he like a bunch of stupid creatures that don't even like him? Most of them were worthless anyhow. No use for them, no use at all... Theo shrugged his shoulders in response to the girl's statement. He paused, however, looking surprised, at her sudden and rather generous offer. "R-really?"
"Get a strong one! Get a badass one! Yeeeeah!" "Or a cute one!" "Just be happy with whatever she's willing to give you, you ungrateful little brat." Damn voices needed to shut up.
He nodded his head, though, looking eager. Free Pokemon! He wasn't going to pass up something like that.
Imogene looked sour. She didn't want to have more Pokemon around, not at all... but there was nothing she could do. Dumpling, however, wiggled a little in excitement. He hoped the Pokemon would be friendly.
"D-do you have, like, an Aggron? Oh! O-or a Xatu! Or a Shiftry, or maybe a Kingler... M-Manectric!" The blond boy's eyes glinted a little. He was just rattling off a few Pokemon he liked, hoping one of them would be what he got.

The girl listened to Theo list the pokemon he hoped for and shook her head slightly. "No, I don't have any of those. I have a Cloyster, Corsola, Ralts, Starly, and a female Mareep." She answered.
Oni huffed at the talk about Anastcia, the little Ralts his trainer had gotten while he was away. How could she get another one? Didn't she at all care about him? "I think Oni would like me to get rid of Ana, the Ralts. She's very friendly and kind to everyone." The blond said when she felt the Kirlia's jeloiusy over the Ralts.
<Aww, Oni no likey Ana~> Hari said happily, standing on his tail and resting his chin inbetween the Kirlia's horns. <He feel replaced!> <No! Get off!> Oni waved his arms to free his 'hair' of the Aipom and tip toed away. Even thought what the monkey spoke was true, he'd never agree to him.
